If it's true DSB AM, then just tune to one side, filtering out one sideband, and treat it as single sideband. Would want to watch out for aliasing, of course, from the rejected sideband. Unless you're real good, and set it so that the aliased sideband folds into the passband perfectly... :-) the sidebands are, after all, identical in AM. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
